Hi everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was great. Mom and Dad got me a few more toys but they said I would have to wait until Easter. That’s okay with me. = D

Today’s toy is actually a new one. I think this is about only a week old.

Most people will associate this kind of toy with girls. Mom says that there is nothing wrong with boys playing with these kinds of toys because of the many benefits they bring:

color recognition

food recognition

life skill – setting the table

life skill – preparing food

life skill and fine motor development – using utensils

language development through role playing and food identification

Plus, mom said that I need to learn how to cook when I am older so this toy set is a good introduction to that skill. Most great chefs are men so there really is nothing wrong with little boys playing with this kind of toy.

Hey, everyone! Today’s post is going live late because Mom had a bit of an accident last night. She slipped and hurt her knee pretty bad and so Dad took her to the ER. She’s okay now. The doctor said it’s just some strained ligaments. She needs some bed rest though that’s why I’ve been by her side the whole day.

Today, I will be featuring a book. It’s a Read and Play book from my favorite animation film, Cars. Mom likes buying me learning toys and books so I think it’s important that I also feature books here from time to time. Many magical things happen in books, don’t you agree? Besides, this book is not all reading. It’s actually a fun activity book. Check it out!

A lot of the characters are featured here. The first one is Francesco. As you can see, the right part is a puzzle. You get some trivia on the left page and have fun solving the puzzle on the right.

Of course, Lightning is there!

This is Uncle Topolino, Luigi’s favorite uncle.

This is my other favorite character, Mater! I have lots of other books about him.

Finally, Raoul. Mom built me a pseudo-Lego model of him over the weekend. I will share it with you soon!

This is the back of the book. Mom has not yet allowed me to play with this book. She says she is reserving it for a special day. I really don’t mind as I still have a lot of toys to play with.

Mom says this is a great gift for toddler boys! I hope you enjoyed this post. Stay tuned for more toys and magical posts!

Before we start today’s post, I have a confession to make. Mr. Potato Head is not mine…he’s my mom’s toy! Grandma got it for her back in January. Mom is such a big kid. She likes collecting toys, mostly toys for boys. She was a bit of a tomboy when she was young. She enjoyed playing Silver Hawks and Hot Wheels better than Barbie dolls. I’m not complaining though as she helps me build my (our) collection of Hot Wheels. She said she has the perfect excuse to start over her collection – me! Teehee!

Mr. Potato Head comes with many parts and accessories as you can see in the photo. I can take off everything from the spud. There’s a compartment on his back to store his eye glasses and tongue in.

I like playing with Mr. Potato Head but I make sure to ask mom for permission before I do so. I like putting his nose on his ear holes and the ear on his nose hole. Teehee!

Mom says that I can learn many skills with Mr. Potato Head such as body parts recognition, dressing up, fine motor skills, language development and even help strengthen my fingers and my grip. Such a fun learning toy!

So, I leave you with today’s toy, Mr. Potato Head! Stay tuned for more toys and magical posts!

We love to travel so Mom always makes sure that I have enough toys and activities to do while we are in the hotel, while in restaurants and even in the bus or plane. Last month, we went to CDO and Iligan City. Mom got me this Awesome Dinosaurs pack from Pocket Money Fun.

It comes with 5 dinosaurs and this trivia book.

The trivia book is really nice. Very informative. I ask Mom to read to me while I play with the dinosaurs. When she finishes the book, I finish playing too and put everything back in the box.

I have to admit though, I didn’t like this pack when Mom pulled it out when we were in the CDO airport, waiting for our lunch. I played with my cars instead. Teehee! I only played with this set when we got back home.

Pocket Money Fun also has packs for girls. Actually, they have 2 versions for girls while they only have this one for boys. I hope they make more.

Hope you liked my dinosaurs! Stay tuned for more toys and magical posts!

Hi everyone! How was your weekend? Ours was great! Mom got me several new toys but she says I would have to wait before opening them. She said that we will open them one at a time. I was not feeling well yesterday morning and so we were not able to go to church and to the mall. Mom got scared but it turned out that I was just really sleepy…from watching too much Let’s Go Pocoyo! Mom thought that I was dehydrated. She didn’t leave my side until I woke up. She was so relieved that I was okay that she went out with grandma and bought me a few more toys! Wheee! I will feature them here, don’t worry! But for now, please enjoy this Noah’s Ark set that Dad gave me for Christmas.

The set comes with the ark, Noah and his wife and the animals (monkeys, alligators, elephants, giraffe, lions and zebras. The alligator is missing his pair because I don’t know where I put it! Teehee!

The side opens up so that I can keep the pieces inside after I play with them.

The door has a groove on it so that I can attach the ladder.

And up the animals go!

Mom says this is a great learning aid to the Bible Story. It also teaches me colors, animal recognition and counting! So much fun!

So, there you have it! I hope you enjoyed Noah’s Ark as much I enjoy playing with it!

Can you tell how much I love trains? I asked Mom to buy me this train for Christmas. I’m so lucky that she was able to get this set with all the animals in it. The ones available now have just one animal and a few blocks. I like the farm animals better.

The set comes with a horse, goat, cow and pig. I scratched the cow that’s why the paint is coming off. Teehee!

You can disconnect the train parts. I had a hard time connecting them at first but my grandma taught me how. Now I can easily connect them together!

I use this train to deliver all sorts of things when I’m playing. Sometimes I put pompoms in them. Sometimes crayons and sometimes, I even put my small cars in them! Choo choo!

Do you like trains too? What’s your favorite? Stay tuned for more toys and magical posts!
